Can someone tell me why some people just refer to their diagnosis as ADD while others refer to it as ADHD. I've always thought that the hyperactivity is always a part of it even if it doesn't show physically. One of the reasons ADHD has the symptoms that it does is because the brain is "hyper"...right?
ADD me

I was never Hyper as a child, fidgety but not Hyper. I believe my symptoms are just ADD and if one is hyper they get the diagnosis of ADHD.
Interesting, I wasn't

Interesting, I wasn't hyper as a child either. In fact, the very opposite, I was very slow. My dx is ADHD. I'll keep looking into it and follow up too. Thanks!
